The 2013 RAMMY Awards Gala returns again this year for a festive evening built around the idea that in Metropolitan Washington, restaurants aren’t just thriving, they are experiencing a region-wide economic boom with new neighborhoods in bloom and the industry as a whole growing its vast footprint. According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurants in the District alone are projected to generate sales of approximately $2.7 billion in 2013.
“The hard work, vision and passion from these talented restaurateurs and culinary professionals has planted the seeds for this now ‘blooming’ dining scene we have here in Washington, DC,” said Kathy Hollinger, president of the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMW). “The growth of the restaurant community really speaks to the growth of the region and we look forward to honoring this great industry on June 23.”
The RAMMYS begin with a cocktail reception at 6 pm, hosted by Boxwood Estate Winery and partners in the Virginia wine and beverage industry. The awards ceremony will follow at 7 pm with one hour of exciting awards presentations followed by a buffet-style dinner featuring the foods and wines of Chile and an exciting menu from Meat and Livestock Australia, just to name a few. The finalists for Beverage/Mixology program of the year will serve their RAMMY cocktails at specialty bars throughout the ballroom and a live band will set the scene for dancing and festivities until midnight.
Tickets to the RAMMYS are available for $225 for RAMW members, $300 for non-members, and may be purchased online at www.therammys.org, by calling 202.331.5990 or by email at therammys@ramw.org.

Elizabeth McGovern to accept The William Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre
“Elizabeth exemplifies the mastery that develops from the deep roots laid as a classically trained actor, evident in each of her roles on stage, film and television. While developing her craft at The Juilliard School at the young age of 19, Elizabeth was catapulted onto the big screen in Ordinary People, then a few years later in Ragtime, where she earned her first Academy Award nomination. However, big screen success has not kept her away from the great works of Shakespeare, Chekov and Shaw. The talent and love she exhibits for the classics have allowed her to develop her craft to a great level of artistic excellence. I am so pleased she will join the ranks of her Downton Abbey co-star, Dame Maggie Smith, as a recipient of The William Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre.” -Michael Kahn
